This one is a big one and long overdue, I look at the Irish potato famine which began in 1845 and carried on realistically until the early 1850's, Ireland's population was almost halved, over a million people died and a million and a half displaced around the world, often crossing vast oceans in unseaworthy vessels called the coffin ships, which is where the Primordial song takes it's name from. It had been a long time since I raked over the history and found some things I'd forgotten and others I never knew, the effects of our greatest tragedy still echo deeply in Irish society and it arguably took the country about 150 years to recover, if it ever really did. Join me as Iook into our dark past.
